Comments on the geologic information

  • THE GEOLOGY OF THE OREBODY CONSISTS OF COPPER MINERALIZATION OCCURING IN DEVONIAN AGE QUARTZITES AND METAVOLCANIC ROCKS. THE MAIN ORE MINERAL IS CHALCOPYRITE. THE MINERALIZED SERIES OCCURS IN AN ARCH-LIKE STRUCTURE ABOUT 10 KILOMETERS LONG. THE DEPOSIT CONSISTS OF A SYSTEM OF LAYERS OR LONG LENSES. ZLATY HORY IS AN UNDERGROUND MINE WHICH IS WORKING A SEPARATE SECTION OF THE SAME OREBODY AS ZLATY HORY II. THE POLYMETALLIC COPPER-LEAD-ZINC-SILVER-GOLD MINERALIZATION OCCURS IN THE ZLATY HORY EAST AND THE ZLATY HORY WEST DEPOSITS. COPPER MINERALIZATION OCCURS IN THE ZLATY HORY SOUTH DEPOSIT.

Comments on the production information

  • THE PRODUCT OF THE ZLATY HORY I MINE IS COPPER CONCENTRATE. HEAD GRADES FOR THE ORE, FOR THE YEAR 1989, ARE .44 PERCENT FOR COPPER. TOTAL CONCENTRATE PRODUCTION FOR ZLATY HORY I IS 5,431 METRIC TONS FOR 1989. THE GRADE OF THE CONCENTRATE, FOR THE YEAR 1989, IS 19.8 PERCENT FOR COPPER. THE FLOTATION RECOVERY RATES FOR THE CONVERSION OF THE ORE TO CONCENTRATES IS 91 PERCENT FOR COPPER. TOTAL RESERVES FOR THE ZLATY HORY I MINE IS 383,000 METRIC TONS OF PROVEN RESERVES, AND 160,000 METRIC TONS OF INFERRED RESERVES. THE 1992 MINING ANNUAL REVIEW ESTIMATES THAT ORE PRODUCTION FOR THE YEAR 1991 INCLUDED 580,000 METRIC TONS OF COPPER.
